Process
The interview process included:
- Recruiter call
- Technical screen
- Onsite
- Values interview
I was notified 24-48 hours after every interview, either with results or updates. The whole process felt super transparent, and I really appreciated that. For L3, there was no system design, and all technical interviews were coding.

Good core team, awful management
Software Engineer • Former Employee
October 19, 2021
Pros: - They have very talented people across multiple teams.
- The work/life balance is good.
- They have interesting products and projects.
Cons: The upper management is stupid. They remove entire departments, cancel projects with no previous notice, move people to other roles, and they lack essential processes.
In some departments, they don't know how to use the Agile framework, so the project management is a mess.
Many employees complain about management decisions. Just take a look at other reviews on Glassdoor, and you will see it's a common situation.
